Since am a newbie, would like help verifying that I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing. Weight is 28g/1 oz. tissue test shows that it is the same color as an Eisenhower dollar. Is this silver? Others I have seen listed have .999 silver is the listings. Approximate grade and value? (Happy to post more images if merited.) Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/11/2018 6:04 pm There is neither a denomination nor a silver percentage or claim. As such it's value is minimal. Most often found in dealers junk boxes. Still neat if you saw Haley's all those years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
coin-curious Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 06/12/2018 3:47 pm Thank you! When I do the ring test (I used a 1964 quarter and a 1974 dollar) - it sounds the same to me. I also did the drop test and all three coins sound the same. There is a O mint mark on the right side. No Silver markings on the coin or rim. Sorry the photos are rotated. They don't look that way on my computer. Report this Post to the Staff
